Chapter 10: The Gaze of Anticipation
Meanwhile, in the humble inn, Rose was lying bored on the couch, her pink nightgown hadn't been taken off at all, her slender hand kept fiddling with the TV remote, glancing at Iris, who was leaning against the window, not knowing whether she was sleeping or thinking about the problem, sighed, pursed her rosy little mouth, and kept complaining about why someone hadn't brought her expectations back.
As the saying goes, Cao Cao Cao arrived, no, Rose just muttered a few words, the tattered door was slammed open, and the tall man walked in expressionlessly, followed by a little girl in a white dress, with two braids, and her pink little face looked very cute, of course, if her eyes were not cold, it would be more perfect.
"Ah, little sister Lily, you're finally here, let my sister see if you've become pretty lately." Looking at the little girl with pink makeup, Rose quickly sat up, screamed in surprise, directly ignored the man who wanted to say something, hugged the little girl, and kept getting close to the little girl's face, as if she was the little girl's own sister.
Maybe it was because Rose's voice was too noisy, causing Iris, who was leaning against the window, to open her eyes and immediately see the little girl in Rose's arms, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and suddenly, a trace of solemnity appeared on her face, and she brushed past the man, pulled out the pistol tied to her thigh, and the muzzle of the black hole directly pressed against the little girl's head, and at the same time, a dagger that flashed cold light was silently placed on Rose's neck.
Iris didn't speak, just touched the little girl's head with the muzzle of the gun, and pointed to the dagger around Rose's neck, meaning that she quickly put the dagger away, otherwise she would shoot, and the little girl did not show fear because her life was threatened, on the contrary, her eyes showed incomparable disgust, this kind of threat to her was the most hateful thing for her.
"Alright, stop it!" Seeing everyone drawing their swords and crossbows, and being ignored several times, the man finally couldn't help it anymore and shouted at the three women present, "What are you all doing!" Forgot our mission? Rose, don't you know that Lily hates people holding her and treating her like a child? ”
"Of course I haven't forgotten." Rose pursed her lips and said with her eyes shining, "But little sister Lily is so cute, I can't help but want to kiss her when I see her, come, little sister Lily, let my sister kiss her." After saying that, the rosy lips began to slowly approach the little girl's forehead.
Lily, who was in Rose's arms, naturally wouldn't let her kiss arrive, glancing at Iris who was pointing a gun at her, with a quick flick of her left hand, a dagger instantly appeared only a few centimeters away from Iris's eyes.
In order to prevent being stabbed and killed, Iris has only one choice, hide! The head instantly leaned back, dodging the dagger that was whistling and flying, and at this moment, Lily moved, her left leg was slightly bent, and she directly pressed her knee towards Rose's lower abdomen, and Rose seemed to know what Lily was going to do, holding her arms and suddenly separated, and her body quickly retreated, dodging the painful blow.
But it wasn't over yet, everything was just as Lily expected, the girl's face had a hint of triumphant smile, her bent left leg was suddenly straightened, her body rotated 360° in the air, and the toe of her white sneakers kicked Iris's pistol, and with a snap, the pistol flew to the corner of the room.
And the next scene, which made Rose and Jigokubana, who was not involved, stunned, after Lily landed safely, leaned back slightly, and did two backflips in a row at a speed invisible to the naked eye, reaching the place where the pistol fell, picking up the pistol and pointing at Iris, who had just reacted and was about to pull out the pistol tied to her right leg.
"I hate threats!" Lily said disdainfully, stood up and patted the dusty white dress, a little annoyed, then threw the pistol to Iris, and slowly sat down on the couch, her hands on her chest, her brows furrowed, as if waiting for someone to speak, but this wait disgusted her.
"Ahem, it's a meeting!" Jigokubana coughed lightly, the reason why he didn't participate just now was because he already knew Lily's strength in his heart, and he couldn't judge this little girl who looked like she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she had mastered a lot of fighting skills and experienced many lives and deaths, although it didn't seem like admitting it, but he had to say that only after fighting her would he understand how terrifying she was.
"The target has been discovered." As he spoke, Jigokubana pulled out a black, waterproof card from his pocket, with a striking red lettering on it, "This card I found in the cemetery of St. Paul's Cathedral, it has proven that the betrayer has come to London, and I heard a message from the bugging device that is beneficial to us." ”
"What's the news?" As soon as these words came out, Rose hurriedly asked, while Iris frowned slightly, her eyes were full of inquiry, and even Lily, who had just arrived, waited curiously for Jigokubana to tell the mysterious news.
"The betrayer seems to have sent a warning letter to Detective Sherlock, we can start from this aspect, as long as we know where the betrayer appeared, we can make a trap one step in advance, and when the time comes, we can catch all the people who hinder the organization!"
Sherlock Detective Agency?! Hearing this familiar and unfamiliar word, Lily's eyes flashed with a wave of emotion, she vaguely remembered that mission, that voyage, that meeting with a boy two or three years older than her, that sense of familiarity, still makes her puzzled, originally she thought that the boy had no chance of surviving after being swallowed by the sea, her heart had been very dull for the past few days, until she found out that the boy was fine, she was relieved, this sense of relief is not even clear to herself.
Will you be there this time? Lily muttered silently in her heart. No matter what, she must ask the other party to understand this time, if she doesn't even know the other party, she has only one choice: kill! This kind of person who can affect her mood can't be left at all, and she will definitely become a strong enemy in the future, in her heart, there is only one person who can affect her mood - her brother!
"Bugging? When did you install it? Rose didn't care what Lily was thinking at the moment, she was more concerned about Jigokubana's words, she really couldn't understand when the man who used weapons at every turn and didn't learn to think about it at all would become so smart.
"Don't underestimate anyone." As if knowing what Rose was thinking, Jigokubana plucked her ears, and her tone suddenly became extremely gloomy, "Seven is an example, I just met two rather nasty flies on the road, so I just used a little trick, I still understand the principle of casting a long line to catch big fish!" ”
"Little sister Lily, where are you going?" Rose didn't say anything, and suddenly found that Lily beside her was gone, and quickly looked around, and found that Lily was heading in the direction of the door of the room, as if she was about to leave the room, and couldn't help shouting, "Don't you know that this is an extraordinary time?" It's best not to go it alone, lest the betrayer find anything out of the ordinary. ”
"Do you know him?" Lily lowered her head and said in a cold tone, "He has a lot of eyeliner in the organization, as long as it is about the news about the plundering of him, he will definitely know, no matter how secretive we do, so instead of this, we might as well go out generously and let him find out, and then there will be a fair duel again, assassinating him, it's useless!" ”
"However, in case he doesn'......t know this time," Lily said Rose understood, she had seen the organization kill relatives and friends around the betrayer in case they leaked the news, but in the end, the betrayer could still receive the news about the organization killing him, but her heart always maintained a sense of luck.
"I'm out for some business, and when I get back, you can just tell me the results of the discussion." Lily lightly put down a sentence and walked out of the room directly, making everyone present stunned, is this still the Lily they are familiar with? When, Lily would leave the team without permission while on a mission, which was not at all her style.
"What's wrong with her?" Rose asked, puzzled, as she turned to look at the remaining two people in the room. In response, Jigokubana just shrugged his shoulders, while Iris shook his head, Lily's change, they really don't know.
"Lily ......" On the street near the humble hotel, a man in a black trench coat held a telescope in his hand, looked at the place where the organization lived, and said to himself, "I haven't seen you for so many years, I wonder if you're doing well?" Don't worry, the person you cherish the most in your heart has been doing well, and one day, I will let you brothers and sisters meet! ”
